    "load" a video, meaning that you actually want to play it back, or just load the data-file into memory?

    Yes, both can be done, the latter isn't particularly hard, but playing back a video is definitely non-trivial. [Although there's probably some libraries or published code that will do it for you in one way or another].

    uploading where? You mean load a file into memory in C++? What do you want to do with the file after you've loaded it into memory?

    Do you actually have ANY IDEA what you are trying to do?

    Look, you need a full media player functionality for that. That is not something you can just hack up in a few minutes [or months] - unless you have done plenty of that sort of work before and even if there's a ready-made library.

    Playing a video file in Windows is relatively easy when using DirectShow.

    First they need to know the language. I suspect the OP is rather -- shall we say new -- to C++.

    Yes, of course, mastering the language is a must first. But when it comes to media, DirectShow is pretty much THE API on Windows for that. Take one step at a time, though.

    BTW, (this is a stupid question) what does "OP" actually stand for (as in MacGyver's post)?

    Yup, that's what it stands for here.
